Dr Elaine Williams will present her research at the International Geographical Congress 2024,  the presentation is titled, Comprehending Researcher Positionality: Lessons from Participatory Action Research (PAR). Elaine's paper explores how Participatory Action Research (PAR) creates a space for self-reflexive researcher conversations on positionality in the field. It draws upon experiences of researcher embeddedness and explores the space of 'betweenness' when exiting and stepping away from the research community.
